About this experience

One of the most popular tours in Koh Samui, this is a great way to visit many of the 'must-see' sites and also be offered a couple of fun optional activities to add to the enjoyment of the day.

Visit the well-known Grandmother and Grandfather Rocks, Koh Samui's Big Buddha and another temple that houses the famous, and most unusual looking, mummified monk. You will be mesmerized at the beauty surrounding the Secret Buddha Garden, otherwise known as the Magic Garden, which is protected by many Buddha statues and more.

A refreshing break will also be taken at Namuang Waterfall 1, as you will have sufficient time to frolic in the water.

Also on this tour you will be taken by 4WD jeep up into the mountains to some viewpoints which have magnificent views of the island and far beyond. And near the top of the mountain you will stop at a restaurant to have a traditional lunch, soft drinks and water.

During the day, you've got the option to take a zipline cable ride and a water slide.
